WELCOME
The Phycological Society of America has established a subscription
list on the Internet using ListServ at Colorado State University
to facilitate conducting society related business and other functions
among its members. Only PSA members were included in the initial
subscription list, and this initial subscription list contains all
PSA members for whom correct E-mail addresses are known. The Executive
Committee decided at this year's meeting that memberhsip on this
list will not be restricted to PSA members and non-members are welcome
to join. The PSA list is intended to facilitate communication among
members in conducting society business more efficiently and to promote
interactions among members by sending announcements, requests for
abstracts, job opportunities, new book descriptions, news of colleagues,
informational questions, registration information and forms for
meetings, and possibly abstracts of the annual meeting. Currently
there are more than 590 members on our list. Approximately 280 PSA
members also subscribe to Algae-L, so there is some redundancy.
However, membership is not obligatory, and any member can subscribe
or unsubscribe at any time by following the simple instructions
provided in the information section of this message. Instructions
on sending messages are also provided. Please save these instructions
for future reference. The list is not moderated (censored), therefore
some self restraint should be exercised in your comments and replies.
ListServ is a computer program which provides a mechanism for distributing
mail messages to a group of people sharing a common interest. Furthermore,
ListServ distribution lists are an effective way to manage dynamic
mailing lists of a large number of recipients. Once a list is established
anyone on the list can send a message and thus this service becomes
interactive. List subscribers have a convenient way to make announcements,
to poll members about a certain topic, to ask questions, to promote
events, books or new products, or to participate in any discussions
regarding a topic proposed by any member.
If you know of any PSA members or non-members who have e-mail but
may not be subscribers to this list, we would appreciate your cooperation
by informing these individuals about our list and how they can
subscribe.
